The story is told in Kyon's point-of-view. Through narration and dialogue, he provides his insight, perspective, and opinions on the series' events. Kyon is easily annoyed by Haruhi's demands and commands given to him, but is be bewildered by her. There are hints in Kyon that he has romantic feelings for Haruhi Suzumiya, but he makes her jealous every time when he's with Mikuru Asahina. Kyon is a nickname first given to him by his grandmother, and his sister also had started calling him "Kyon". Kyon is usually outspoken against Haruhi Suzumiyas demands and easily says "no" to whatever event or activity she wants to do. However, Kyon usually ends up doing what she wants to do anyway.

He uses the name John Smith during the events of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, and he keeps it as his trump card for Haruhi Suzumiya in case anything happens. However, his real name has not been revealed.
